Basically, there's the seven laws of Noah, none of which involve giving money or praying, and you don't have to be part of a group, all you have to do is keep seven things, and every Jew has to respect you a lot, and you are perfect here.

The Noachide Laws, yes? They seem like basic common sense stuff, but I guess humans as degraded as they are need a divine teaching on it, which sadly doesn't surprise me.
I bought some ebooks by a rabbi who I think founded the Breslover branch of Hasidic Judaism, if I'm saying that right. Rabbi Nachman, his stuff is very positive and inspiring. It's lifted me out of feeling badly over my troubles more than once.

Yes, it's very common. Details like reincarnation into animals and objects is strictly confined to Kaballah, as far as I know, and you have to be on an extremely high spiritual and physical level to be allowed to study it.

Breslov has some great teachings, but somethings they are into, I'm not completely into.
When you are born, you aren't anything more capable than a monkey. Without knowledge, you can't go anywhere in life, or be righteous. Every society needs codified laws that they can teach right and wrong from.

I agree, but once an adult you'd think rationality would be obvious in a sense. Yet, people are corrupt enough they need someone above them whipping their butts in order, clearly. Don't set babies on fire, really??!!
I don't know much about Breslov teachings overall, but they are very uplifting and have a gift for presenting faith in a very positive, inviting way. One thing I like about the Breslov guys is their cheerfulness. This is one of my favorite You Tube videos:

So if a Jewish person passes and reincarnates, they can be born anywhere in the world as anyone or even an animal or object?
